heck out these Big-belly Seahorse fry that hatched at the Georgia Aquarium! The aquarium breeds these seahorses to display as ambassadors for their threatened habitats, coral reefs and seagrass beds, which are important marine ecosystems.

Allwetterzoo Münster has had a very successful crop of Long-snouted Seahorses this summer. About 400 juveniles have been born since May—from just eight parental pairs! Seahorses are unusual among fish because pairs remain monogamous for a whole breeding season, and sometimes for life. Even more unexpected, it is the male who incubates and gives birth to the young.

I know this is late for the merpeople AU but I just had to draw this cause 1. mermaids 2. sasuhina and 3. I can not erase from my mind the idea that merpeople have babies like seahorses which is SO HILARIOUS.

CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE ALL THE PLEADING A MERMAID WOULD HAVE TO DO TO GET THE MERMEN TO GO THROUGH WITH IT?!
